You want Experiences with ToolBook... here goes

Installation was the first fun part. It wouldn't accept the second
disk and I had to copy the two disks into a directory and install 
it from there.
(In hindsight I had a similar problem recently that was fixed
by switching from Dos 4.00 to DOS 4.01 so maybe it isn't Toolbooks fault)
(When I called Microsoft they had heard of this problem and offered the
solution I had already arrived at!)

TWO other people here that got WIndows the same day I did had BAD disk
2 disks. Not readable at all!!

Actual use...

Well it sure looks slick. Looks like SuperCard on the PC but I have
to admit it is a bit slow. I am on a PS/2 model 70 386 16Mhz and there are
some delays waiting for things to arrive. 

I don't know about links to the outside. I want to be able to control
a video disk. I want to have sound "Xcmds" I want I want I want...
